Famed sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner cross picket line at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas

Famed sisters, Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner were photographed at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas on Friday while hotel workers were on strike outside of the property demanding a new contract.

Virgin Hotels shared a press release about the celebrity sighting at Kassi Beach Club. The sisters who are on the reality TV show "The Kardashians" made an appearance to promote their alcohol brands, 818 Tequila and Sprinter Vodka Soda. However, the celebration came as the Culinary Union asked the community and guests to support workers by not crossing the picket line during a 48-hour strike that started at 5 a.m. on Friday and ended Sunday morning.

"I think that's unfortunate, and we'll be sure to reach out to them," Ted Pappageorge, secretary-treasurer with Culinary Union Local 226, said.

It remains uncertain if the duo were aware of the strike, but Pappageorge said it's not surprising if celebrities were on site.

"It was a big weekend in Las Vegas," he said. "And again, when we know that there are celebrities out there that have relationships with these companies that are really not treating workers right, most of the time they want to know. And we have great success in reaching out to celebrities and influencers about not being on the wrong side of a dispute like this."
